iPad mini won't connect the iTunes

My iPad mini won't connect to the iTunes while my iPod Touch 3rd generation connects just fine. Added to that, my computer recognizes the iPad just fine, I can even access my photos. But iTunes won't recognize my device. I've tried all the basic troubleshooting methods (restarting, uninstalling, etc) as well as a few advance ones (for me) related to the apple mobile device drivers (I think) but still nothing. Also, yes, both my iPad mini and iTunes are up-to-date and my iPad works just fine.

Any advice? Help?
